California State Assembly — District 27
✦ AI Race Summary
AD-27 stretches from Morgan Hill and southern Santa Clara County into Merced, Madera, and Fresno counties — the Central Valley's western edge. Three candidates filed: two Democrats and a Republican. The seat is open after the previous incumbent moved on. Ag policy, water rights, and Central Valley housing affordability lead the agenda. (Only the Santa Clara County portion of AD-27 — Morgan Hill and surrounding territory — concerns this guide's three-county audience.)
